Meal Cruise: Le Calife

(Last Update: 11.09.2024) Seine River There are many options on which you can take a dinner cruise, but I will tell you about my favorite among the dinner cruise boats and the one that I tried for the first time on a very special celebration dinner evening in March 2017. The CaliphI want to talk about.

Le Califé (lö kalif) once upon a time Seine River carrying a load, in French barge (penisOne of the old barges referred to as ). Over time, it was designed as a tour boat, and in my opinion, it is the most beautiful and most personal one among the dining cruise boats. Bateaux Parisiens or Bateaux Mouches There are other companies that organize dinner tours, but Le Calife seems like that. fabrication not, a little more store a boat.

As you know, even if everything seems wonderful, we can encounter many problems when we go to any restaurant in France due to the problems in the service quality of the waiters and cultural differences. These topics "“What Will Happen to You in Cafes and Restaurants in Paris?” I explained it in detail in my article, but Le Calife was a pleasant place for us where we did not experience such unpleasantness and received extremely good service.

The starting point of Le Calife, which serves lunch and dinner on weekends and only dinner on weekdays. Lovers Bridge what we know as Pont des ArtsJust below . M1 or M7 metro If you get off at the Louvre-Rivoli station of the lines Seine River from the shore Pont des ArtsYou can reach and cross the street from here, and on the other side of the bridge, go down the stairs on the left and pass under the bridge to reach Le Calife.

Same way M7 of the metro Get off at Pont Neuf station and exit the station. Pont Neuffrom or slightly behind Pont des ArtsYou can also reach Le Calife by walking to and crossing the road from that side. On one side Louvre Museum There is, on the side where Le Calife is Institut de France It greets you with all its glory.

Since I had dinner here on a weekday, I would like to proceed based on my own experience. The boat opens its doors at 19:45 for dinner. You'd better log in by 20:20. Departs at approximately 20:45 boat. Although we got there around 19:30, luckily they let us in. However, the French have very sharp lines on these issues, I liked their flexibility :)

We were taken onto the boat with a very warm welcome, and first the greeter and then the service attendant accompanied us to our table. First impressions were very positive, we have seen this boat from afar for years and always wanted to try it one day. a special dinner It was also a very nice feeling to be there.

The boat has an upper saloon at the front and one in the middle, and a lower saloon at the front and one at the bottom. According to me The most enjoyable place is the front upper lounge.. I'm not sure about this part, but I think the upper windows of the middle upper lounge are removed in the summer and it becomes a completely open deck. It sure tastes different in the summer, but in the winter, the atmosphere of the wooden windowed section we were in was wonderful. But despite all the warmth of the lower decks, I don't think it's that advantageous, though. tastes and colors are indisputable let's say.

The tables are small, like in most French restaurants, but since we're used to it, it's not that much of a problem :) There are different menu options for dinner. I chose goat cheese salad as an entree, meat as a main course, and something with chocolate for dessert. Also a bottle Cote du Rhône We ordered wine. For two people in total, as we drink a cup of coffee at the finale. 188€ we paid. Believe me, it was worth it… See the menu and current prices You can access it from the official web page link at the end of the article, your reservation you can do it.

The boat departed at exactly 20:45 ve Pont des ArtsIt started its journey by passing under . For a while, we didn't know whether to eat our meal or watch the surroundings in such a beautiful environment. Louvre Museum, Pont Neuf, Cite Island, Hôtel de Ville, Notre Dame Cathedral, Saint Louis Island As we continued on our way, I thought the boat would return, but it didn't. Normally, tour boats always return from here. Our Califa continued on its way and Arab World Institutecontinuing from Austerlitz StationHe went as far as , and returned from Pont d'Austerlitz.

The boat returned from the opposite route to the point where we started, and then continued on its way. Orsay Museum, Concorde Square, III. Alexandre Bridge – Pont Alexandre III then Eiffel TowerHe went all the way to there. Until that time sir sir The people eating their food lost their temper and started taking photos, and a very entertaining picture emerged. However, how beautiful polite polite by eating dinner Seine River Everyone was enjoying being on it; Eiffel Tower It blew everyone's mind; Well, mine too, of course, but I was more in a rush to take photos for you :)

Bir Hakeim Bridgepassing under Swan IslandWe go all the way to the tip of , where Radio France is located, which is exactly Statue of LibertyWe started to go back by passing the oldest replica of , from the other side of the island. Eiffel Tower It looked beautiful from this angle too. And I guess your time your time They arrange it well, when the Eiffel lights start flashing at the beginning of the hour, you can't get enough of watching it. Of course Because it gets dark around 11 at night in the summer months You may not have the same experience, but maybe yours will be a different beauty then.

After about a two-hour tour, the boat returns to the starting point. Well, if we take into account the time we spent drinking champagne while waiting to take off, about an hour at first. A pleasant Paris evening of three hours in totalSo we lived together with delicious food. Both our eyes and our stomachs were satisfied, and we enjoyed being in Paris once again.
